Help with Decision on UT Arlington or Grand Canyon

If anyone could give me some insight I would greatly appreciate it. I have applied to both schools for the online RN-BSN. I know UT is cheaper. I have some general eds to complete. The odd thing is, I received a call from Grand Canyon tonight stating I had been excepted, however; my transcripts have not been received at the school as of yet. They (Grand Canyon) have assigned me my first starting date of 11/26/12. The schedule is planned until graduation without the transcripts. NOT sure how this is possible? I do like the fact they give me a complete plan of courses. I am not sure if UT does the same. I have read some posts where other nurses are asking for paring help with classes. Do academic counselors not assist? I am not sure what direction to go.

Hi flymedic, did you decide to go with UTA or GC. Can you share you reason of your choice and credits you receive from each of them. Thx!!

Hi Dagr8texan. I elected to go with neither. I start at Jacksonville U on Jan 7th. Didn't like coach option at UTA or the fact they were not accepting one of my classes. As for GCU, same thing with a different class. I also didn't like the multiple group projects. I am not doing someone else's work. Also my advisor quit and my emails were not being answered. Just didn't feel right for me. Hope this helps.
